Stone Temple Pilots

When: Fri., July 25, 8 p.m. 2008

If any vocalist ever fit the definition of being a hot mess,
it would be Scott Weiland. Drug addiction has been a
constant in his life, dating back to his '90s heyday with Stone Temple Pilots
right up through his more recent stint in supergroup
Velvet Revolver. Lured by Dumpsters full of cash being flung at him, Weiland left Revolver and reunited with his old bandmates for the first time in eight years. The obvious
question is whether he will be able to make it through this current 65-date tour
singing hits like "Plush," "Vasoline," and "Interstate Love Song" without self-destructing.
Catch STP's high-wire act with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at the Greek Theatre (Gayley Rd. at Hearst Ave., Berkeley)
on Friday, July 25.8 p.m., $52.50.
